get a 2 year free warranty with a purchase of their electronics. You also will get 2 more years if you use their credit card. Intel will almost always cost more than AMD and there is probable a big difference in the screen of the middle one compared to the other 2.

For what use?

I see these models as ones you use for web and watching videos and not much more. Since you didn't mention gaming, the 500 dollar model will suffice.
